Reviews

"""In this fascinating, original, and meticulously researched book, Quintana Navarrete offers compelling insights on the roles of scientific discourse and utopian thinking through his exploration of both familiar and lesser-known works of the Mexican postrevolutionary period. Biocosmism opens new angles of debate and exploration in Mexican studies and in the humanities more broadly."" --Susan Antebi, author of Embodied Archive: Disability in Post-Revolutionary Mexican Cultural Production"


"""In Biocosmism, Quintana Navarrete paints a provocative landscape where the anthropocentric focus on creating a new citizen is put aside, and speculations on the consciousness, agency, and creativity of natural forms become central to postrevolutionary utopian imagination."" --Laura Torres-Rodríguez, author of Orientaciones transpacíficas: la modernidad mexicana y el espectro de Asia ""In this fascinating, original, and meticulously researched book, Quintana Navarrete offers compelling insights on the roles of scientific discourse and utopian thinking through his exploration of both familiar and lesser-known works of the Mexican postrevolutionary period.
